Categorizing Toners

When describing toners I've noticed that descriptions such as BULLSEYE and SUNSET and others are used.

I know what END ROLL and BAG TONING and ALBUM toning is but how many different descriptions are there and is there a "source" to view them?

    Bag, Endroll, and album are all sources, and the three most common from which you'll find nicely toned coins.

    Target and sunset are more descriptions of toning, not where it came from. Albums tend to produce targets, since coins tone radially inwards from the rim. But, these are just adjectives, and pretty much anything can be used if the owner sees fit--sunset will likely be orange and yellow, and other words will describe other looks/patterns.

    Thanks, I didn't pick up on sunset being associated with colors.
